The U.S. is also much bigger in terms of population and alternative urban spaces in which to live and find cheaper housing or better jobs! If (for example) one wants warmer weather in which to live/work in the states one can live in Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, California, Hawaii and even further in Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands etc.. If one wants to live in a "warmer area" here in Canada one really only has a choice between Vancouver and Victoria/Nanaimo etc.. So if every "warm weather" immigrant rushes to Vancouver what do you think will happen to house prices (a case of supply versus demand)???
